I find everyone’s experience, so interesting and different from one another. My naturopath recommended Cortrex, which is an adrenal support complex. Thorn is the company that makes it. I believe this has helped my tapering off prednisone considerably. My PMR started in June 2022 and I started on prednisone in July going up to a maximum of 8 mg. I just tapered off as of the end of December 2022. The jury is still out but so far I’m feeling pretty good. Prednisone really messed with my bone density… down by 8% in some areas. If the PMR returns, I may consider naltrexone …my doctor suggested that. Does anyone have any experience with that?

Been on 2mg a day since mid 2019. (Tried 4mg and didn't seem to make a difference so went back to two.) I have Crohn's and pain when I wasn't using my muscles. It irradicated the pain in two days and healed my ulcerated small intestine in two months. I now have "normal" colonoscopies. After 45 yrs with Crohn's I would say that's pretty good. It does not fix the pain of PMR, however. (At least for me.) But I know it does help the immune system normalize. Of couse, I don't know where the non moving pain came frome. It could have been PMR related. It happened at the same time. I won't do without it. I'll be glad to answer any questions I can.
